One definition of Heartbeat is that it is an init system on steroids. In other words, whichever service you can start by hand can be managed by the Heartbeat too. Of course, given that your systems can send heartbeats to each other (i.e. udp ip packets). > Second, might it be a routing issue?

What do you mean by "craps out"? That it doesn't work? IPaddr resource agent brings a network alias interface up. It is not clear from your description what does your network look like, in particular the VM. At any rate, this is most probably not a Heartbeat issue. > Any help would be appreciated.
